Roasted Tomato & Vegetable Soup
One of my favorite Dutch food shows is called: ‘Over de kook“. It’s a show, or better yet, a contest between five amateur chefs battling it out in a restaurant kitchen using their favorite recipes. It’s a good watch. One of the recipes they aired really caught my eye: a basic roasted tomato soup, full of lovely vegetables, garnished with herbed goat cheese. What was so special about it? They…
Summer Minestrone
A flavor bomb, and a healthy one to boot. That’s what this soup chockfull of fresh local produce is. There’s no other way to put it. Tons of vegetables went into this baby and the result is an amazing soup, both in flavor and color. It was summery while still being hearty and wholesome enough to hold me over ’til dinner.

While flipping through the pages I happened upon this recipe and just knew I had to make it. What is Ribollita? It’s an Tuscan country soup and literally translated it would mean “reboiled”. Apparently this soup was…
Kay’s Peanut Soup. The Other One.
I’ve always been a huge fan of peanut soup, peanut sauce etcetera. Anything peanut butter is fine by me. Though the word fan is an uderstatement. Think of me as a closet peanut junkie trying to get a fix. The Chinese toko downtown—the one where they sell spicy Surinam peanut butter—is my dealer.
